Jags sign third-round pick Brandon Linder

The list of unsigned draft picks continues to get smaller and smaller.

Guard Brandon Linder is the latest to agree to a contract. The Jaguars announced Monday that the third-round pick has agreed to a four-year deal with the team.

The Jaguars traded back into the thrid round to select Linder during the draft, which is a good sign of how interested they were in adding him to their roster. Given the unsettled situation at guard across from left guard Zane Beadles, Linder, who played both right guard and right tackle at Miami, could find his way into the starting lineup on the right side as a rookie.
